  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K-1: And pulled out guns.
• 5:31
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K-1: And brandish them at the Indians.
• 5:35
  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K-1: So this gives you an idea of how well his, his attempts to accommodate the newcomers went over.

  RODECaster Duo Main Stereo & Cam Link 4K-1: The Padres authority as the religious leader of the local population.
